Hello to all,
I was excited to see this group and I hope to find wonderful
information and ideas from all of you. I recently joined an animal
rescue group specializing in Cats. I am currently fostering a mother
and her 4 kittens. As the time for adoption comes nearer what are your
suggestions for...

5 weks ago I was blessed with a 1 week old kitty to nurture. With help from
a very good friend who fed her during my longer work times little Xena has
thrived to a rip snorting 6 weeks old. Weaned, litter trained and full of
spunk. I'd like to share her picture with you. I think the lights in...

Hi everyone:
I just rejected a post from a member about this subject. However,
after giving it some additional thought I decided to...

I've got a 3 week old kitten I've fostered for the last 2 weeks. Everything
is going well except the matter of anal stimulation. I'm not getting good
results. It had been almost a week since Xena had a BM, so I took her to the
vet and watched (so I could learn) as he stimulated and got her to...

How much do you tell a prospective adopter about a cat's quirks?
I feel a certain obligation to give an adopter an accurate profile of
a cat's personality, including any quirks, which most cats have.

People seem to want generic kitties, all...

This message is really from my girlfriend who has two older, much more
disciplined dogs, one white and one brown american bulldog, both listen
very well and love to cuddle. They are girls and once they bond with
you they are freakin protective. I have been with my baby for over a
year and her dogs...

Some time ago, there was a discussion in one of these groups about
feeding raccoons. I didn't much participate, because it seemed to be
getting rather heated. However, my experience here in the rural
backwater of Wisconsin is that the 'coons were pretty aggressive toward
our barn cats, chasing...

I am spilling over from another group. I just found you today, so I
hope you forgive me and I hope this is not against Group's Etiquette or
anything like that.

We went to babysit my daughter's children in Davenport, Iowa from Michigan
and while there rescued a kitten that her niegnbors left behind and it was
living and playing under the back porch. It was young enough yet where it
was still friendly and playfull. I was temped to bring it back to...

I seldom cry when I open my mail, and I've never before hit up
strangers for one of my favorite charities. But this is a desperate
case.
The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, Colorado, (formerly The Rocky
Mtn. Wildlife Conservation Center) is going down the tubes after 27
years of caring for...

looks so hot despite the shade and available water and food for her.
(Afterall, it has been over 110 degrees this past week.) I have not been able
to trap her---she seems trap-wise. I worry about where she will have...

Hi everyone.
About a month ago a very skinny and very cute cat appeared on my
doorstep and we started feeding him. I called every shelter and animal
rescue organization and they don't have any reports of him or a lost
cat that is even close. I would love to adopt him, but I am not sure
what I...
